Will being claimed as a dependent on parents return affect medicaid status? I live in a state with expanded medicaid (Washington).

I was in college and graduated in June. I filed for medicaid last January and qualified based on my job at the time (assuming I would claim myself as single for 2016). I found myself unemployed for an extended period after graduating and my income for the year was less than expected so my mom will claim me on her return for obvious reasons. Is it possible I will be penalized? I am 23 currently. I won't be claimed for 2017 as I now have a full time job and am making much more.
